A Royal Obligation
In a realm of four kingdoms, two were on the verge of war. Prince Eirik, the fourth prince of Valeidio, a Ferre whose beauty could rival the gods, was thrust into a marriage alliance with Prince Kaelix, the strong and proud heir of Zephyros. Both princes were determined to fight against the fate that had been forced on them. Eirik resented being used as a pawn, while Kaelix saw the alliance as a threat to his freedom. As they clashed in a battle of wills, their encounters became a constant push and pull of resistance and pride. But as the pressures of duty mounted, the lines between obligation and desire began to blur. In their struggle against their forced union, they found themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected. Would their bond become a weapon against the war or would their kingdoms' rivalries destroy any chance of love before it could take root? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

Locked in with Prince Carl
In the dim light filtering through the heavy drapes of Carl's chamber, Amelia lay tangled in the bed linens, her face flushed, her body completely drained.
Clothes lay strewn across the floor, scattered like the aftermath of a storm, while the bed itself bore signs of a relentless onslaught, sheets twisted, pillows crushed, the once-pristine bedding now a rumpled mess. It had been days since she'd seen anything beyond these four walls, days of being called back and forth to serve Prince Carl's every whim.
Amelia's body ached with an exhaustion she could scarcely articulate, every muscle heavy and leaden, her skin sensitive even to the brush of the linen sheets.
She tried to open her eyes, but they resisted, weighed down with fatigue.
Though fully awake, she felt a numbness that prevented her from moving. This was not the sweet exhaustion she'd sometimes felt before after their encounters, this was something deeper, a weariness that seeped into her bones.
